Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood vs. Virtuoso Wood MKII

Thanks Wrtickle, very helpful info.

Yes,the wood body is MKII version.

I spoke with Clearaudio and got a very straightforward answer. All Virtuoso Wood cartridges are MKII versions because the have only been making the V W for about four years or so.

I do not think there is a mk II version. Clearaudio has just started sending their lower price MM cartridges in wood to the US.

I called a large Clearaudio dealer who new nothing about a MKII version and they just got a shipment from Musical Surroundings (the US distributor). Have you seen any info on the Clearaudio website referring to a MKII? I'm looking to buy a Virtuoso Wood for myself, so I'm interested in updated info also.
